Cancer Researchers Spurred to Move Faster at the Cancer Research Symposium

For every careful step forward in cancer research, there is a patient waiting — a family holding its breath in the middle of the night. That reality was clear at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute’s Cancer Research Symposium in Roanoke. The annual event, organized this year by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC Cancer Research Center in Roanoke, was created to bring together researchers — including faculty, clinicians, and students — who are united by a passion to understand cancer, improve treatments, and develop cures.
